Comments
The winds have increased in strength and while the swell is unchanged the wind is whipping up the sea. Wave tops have a plume of spray like a crop of long white hair. Although the wind is stronger it has swung around to the west so our anticipated arrival time of 8.00am on Sunday 14 January remains unchanged. The wind and waves have not deterred the albatross and prions which constantly accompany us. Today we are scrubbing footwear to meet Quarantine requirements for entry into Australia.
